I've had no problems with them regarding withdrawals etc, BUT I have had TERRIBLE connection problems with them...

I continually get "Trade Time-out", "Price Error", "Trade context Busy" etc errors when trying to trade. Impossible for me to scalp, or even get a proper trade in when there are more than 10 trades going through their servers.

And a lot of times, after repeatedly getting these errors, I find that I get errors - "Not enough money". Then when I look, I have 5 or 6 trades active, after having recieved these messages that my trade could not be placed.

When I have finished writing this message, I am moving my account. Your mileage may vary, but these things have cost me money.

Useful hint maybe ...

Especially in case you can exclude any errors in system or connections from your side ...

In case you make better experiences with another service now ...

If so nowadays ... ? ! !

trade i took on eu for 1100 pip now in -800 pip (1:1) , it suppose to hit tp before September , more likely s/l
Haha.....then the broker sends you a statement everyday to rub it in.

In many cases I am content with a 50 pip move. I always reflect on the Move-Of-The-Day (MOTD) before I close shop.

My broker used to have this nonsense when they were starting up. T'was too bad because I came to learn of them first on a real account so it was rocket science to me. They anyway upgraded their servers and I rarely get those (apart from requotes/they also make it very hard to cancel a mistake trade before it completes). Go to ForexPeaceArmy website and see the ratings of your broker and compare them with another broker. Best I can advice you.

My first trade of the day:

Short @ 97.05 SL 97.15, gained my risk and covered 1/3 and SL moved to 97.10.
Closed my remaining 2/3 @ BE.

Risked 10 pips (1%), made 3.3 pips.

Though, Dukascopy platform was pretty good IMO.

Friendly advice

Your question is too loaded with too many variables.

Firstly when you prepare trade plan, entry and exit must be calculated to a strict formula.
If r/r is 1/1 (risk 10 to gain 10) etc this should be minimum.

adjust rr to what pips is available, ie if is 100 pip to next good level, your rr should only target max 75% of what you calculated pa will offer tp rr 1/1 risk 75 pip to gain 75 pip rr 1/2 risk 37.5 pip to gain 75 pip rr 1/3 risk 25 pip to gain 75 etc etc

Remember rr has nothing to do with how...
Hi Kiwi, this does not always work for me because I often have a moving target when I am at PC. So sometimes I have no target, just move sl to better place.

same here 1st 2 were crap, which was maked worse by me being so green, and thinking it was normal, fellow trader is not real enemy, they are opponant, brokers are the bastard enemies, even though they garaunteed income with spread, wether you success or fail they still try to screw you bastards, they have many tools to do it too

Yes bro, like I said is a very loaded question, as many variables to consider, I just tried to explain a starting process and as get better can adapt, agree bro, sometimes is much calculation before during and after trade, I was just start him simplist form of develop discipline first.

A specific set trade plan with defined levels, targets etc removes our nemisis "human emotion" didnt want to go there is another whole story

I just remember my first blown account, over traded, no plan, thought I was doing ok, but account kept getting smaller and smaller, was a tough lesson, if can help anyone not go there be nice

Good way to do it in my view is to trail your SL below/above the latest swing till stopped out in your TF.

Also, always do pay yourself when given, "feed the ducks when they quack".

How to take profit is an artisan craft.
